One plays limit with the feel, nl with the thinking. After nl one is thinking when playing limit, and after limit one is feeling when playing nl.

That is the greatest baloney I have ever read. You are an idiot, right?

Playing some no limit has made me more aware of the bluffing opportunities I have in limit. (Yes, Virginia, there is bluffing in limit poker.)

I found it completely backwards.

Played NL profitably for 4+ years before switching to primarily SH limit for my online game. I still play NL live, and it's SUCH an easier game. If you only have played NL (and aren't a damn savant) you're probably decent at preflop, decent on the flop, and god awful on the turn and river. Playing limit makes you much better at making decisions on all streets.

NL hurts your limit game in some aspects, 'cause you fold very often in NL, whereas showdown monkeys pull in the $ in limit.

I agree with this. NL helped me learn to read hands more narrowly, I suppose. I stick with limit because I find NL so bloody boring. The decisions are all pretty easy and you just fold forever. I practically fall asleep.
